Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!

Leah did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She took great care of my home, keeping everything neat and tidy, and genuinely cared for my pups as if they were her own. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and kept me updated if anything was needed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had them my whole life, so caring for them feels really natural to me. I love being outside, going on long walks, and spending time with animals. I’m very responsible and make sure pets are safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I also enjoy learning each dog’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable. I’m currently saving money for college, so pet sitting is something I take seriously and put a lot of care into. I’m currently a senior in high school and my classes are only from 7:00–10:30 AM during the week, so I’m available late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights. I graduate in about two months, and after that I’ll be fully available all day and night on both weekdays and weekends. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, routines, and any special care. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outside while also keeping them safe and supervised. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away.

Rachel was so great with Milli. Milli needs lots of attention and can’t really be left alone. Rachel was very attentive to those specific needs. She was fast to respond when I was in a pinch and needed someone immediately. Rachel also was very communicative and shared lots of pictures of Milli, so I knew she was safe.

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule looking to fill my time doing something I love! My family and friends have looked to me for pet care, like walking dogs, letting them out, feeding them, and pet-sitting over night. I am currently working part-time in school and have wide, flexible availability. Whether it’s pet sitting for multiple days or a quick walk, let me know when you need me and I’m there! I offer care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets feel the most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and ensure a clean and friendly environment!

About: Hey guys, sorry for making my brief so long! my name is Felix I’m 20, and this is my journey which led to my passion for dogs: Poverty paralyzes the faculty of reason, destroys the faculty of imagination, kills-self reliance, undermines enthusiasm, discourages Initiative, leads to uncertainty of purpose, encourages Procrastination and makes self-control impossible. Where does a socially starved child go to find love in such a cruel world? I went to the streets to find dogs… My first dog: I was walking home from elementary school on a hot, sunny day. I took a different route than I usually take and saw a pit tied up in the alley way. With excitement I ran towards him and started playing with him. As I was getting up to leave a guy came out of the corner and asked “do you want him?” I said “what?!” And then he said “do you want the dog?” I was 10 and thought that everyone who had a dog was rich. I thought they cost millions of dollars! but here is a guy asking me if I want a beautiful dog. I was completely speechless.. I replied, “You're lying, you're not giving me this dog for free?!” he then said “do you want him or not?” I will never forget the feeling of untying him off that pole and walking away with him. On my way out of the alleyway I shouted “ I’m taking him!..” “I’m walking awayyyy!…” hoping he’d break character. I got home and I was extremely excited, reminiscing about the future with my first dog! Thankfully my mom wasn’t home yet, so I had to think of a way to convince her to let me keep him. His name was Pete, because he was white and had a brindle patch on his eye like “Pete” from the little rascals. Then my mom came home.. I couldn’t hide him because he was too big so I had no choice but to reveal him, she immediately started running away. I'm a first generation African American, meaning my mom didn’t grow up with “pets” . It wasn't the norm to have an animal as a companion- to them it was abnormal. I couldn’t stop laughing as Pete chased her around the house but my mind immediately retreated back to the fear of losing my first dog. I gave her all the benefits of having a pet and pleaded to her that I will take care of him! including the part that they’re very good with Kids Note* I have 9 siblings; being 10 and poor I didn’t have anyone else to help me raise a dog. Which came with tragic consequences. I did not know Pete’s background beyond the alleyway and when I found it was too late. Pete was abused by his previous owners… One day I was walking him and met a friend who had a couple friends over and there was a girl who started taunting Pete. He immediately turned into a different dog, launching at her. Being 10 years old with a 100+ pound pit, I was practically a toy to him, he dragged me and bit her wrist… breaking it. I eventually got him off, but they called the police. Out of shock and fear of losing him I ran away from the scene. The police searched for me and Pete for a week. I didn't tell my mom because I was scared of losing him, It was just me and him Vs the world we did everything together! He never lied, hit or cheated me, he loved and played with me even when he had no dog food! A true companion he was. Finally the police went to my elementary school. I came home from school searching everywhere for him, but couldn't find him, I didn’t think of it as a big deal beliving my mom finally grew accustomed to him and took him out. I sat in the chair and waited for her to come home. At the instant of hearing the back door open I ran to her in excitement ready to hug my dog but she walked in alone, I asked “where Pete was?” and she replied “the shelter came and got him” I didn't even get to say goodbye to him! I begged them to take me to see him, but they never did. Two months passed and the shelter finally called, breaking the news that they had to put him down because he was sick. It felt like my whole world had just collapsed. I begged my mom to tell them he wasn’t sick. He just misses me but she wasn’t a big fan of dogs from the beginning, I still remember sitting on the stairs crying. I couldn’t control those youthful ocean of tears. A feeling that if I reflect upon for too long still impacts me till this day. Something birthed in me to possess that feeling of an unconditonal companion. That led to me finding 9 more dogs. If I wrote you guys a story about each of them, this would be a literal chapter book. So I will give their names, if you would like to know about each of them feel free to reach out Here are their names: Ava,Teddy, Blanca, Snowy, Princess,Teddy, Sasha, Ezekiel and Milo Some passed away, some were rehomed, and some were taken by the shelter. I found myself in a world that pushed me to search for love in broken places. If life is the greatest teacher then I had to understand that I was my own boss. I learned not to bring or leave things in places that lack the resources to give them value, Especially special creatures like dogs. I recently just moved to northwest Arkansas with my 3 legged french bulldog (Saqkou). He has a life I could’ve only dreamt of giving my other dogs. With this heart posture your best friend is in the best hands! Thank you for reading! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my day around consistency, with morning and evening walks, regular check-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment with responsible supervision at all times. I live in a friendly neighborhood, follow leash safety, respect client instructions, and prioritize cleanliness, communication, and trust in my home or a client’s home.

About: I’m patient, attentive, and experienced caring for all pets, and I’ve recently adopted a puppy, actively learning and practicing positive training every single day, too. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I start and end my day with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime for my puppy, plus short training sessions throughout the day. I build in walks, enrichment, cuddles, and any medication needs around my normal schedule, so pets in my care get consistent attention, structure, and affection every day I have a fenced in yard and one indoor puppy and one outdoor dog. I work during the day but come home on breaks to check on them. I also have my 2yro son every other week who loves to play with the dogs
